Summary of the Estyn 2024 inspection report – Ysgol Gymraeg Pwll Coch

Ysgol Gymraeg Pwll Coch is a lively and inclusive learning community where pupils feel safe and valued.

A strong culture of inclusion is at the heart of the school. An extremely effective practice of the inclusive provision is the way in which staff integrate pupils from the SRB into school life and show a positive commitment to inclusivity.

Staff provide extensive opportunities within the areas of learning and work together across the years to plan rich experiences that develop pupils’ skills purposefully.

An obvious strength of the school is pupils’ understanding of their local history, heritage and national culture. They celebrate linguistic pride and their diversity successfully, which reinforces their motto: ‘teulu mawr ŷm ni i gyd’ (‘we are all one big family’).

A happy learning community is provided which celebrates Welshness and the heritage of the area successfully. Staff uphold the moral and multicultural values of the school and its community masterfully. They celebrate and respect that everyone is different and greet all pupils as an integral part of the school’s family. This aspect is a notable feature of the school’s provision.
